All in it together?

"Call Me Dave" has just paid his neighbour, the rather wealthy Conservative party donor Lord Chadlington, nearly £140,000 for a small piece of land that edges his driveway and garage.

This payment did not require a mortgage... he paid for it outright it seems.

The point?

When those in power tell us we are "all in this together", in facing financial and other hardships caused by their policies, it is deeply insulting to spend the equivalent of the price of a decent two to three bed house in this area for what is essentailly a garden border.

In what way can this qualify him for being IN THIS TOGETHER with any normal person in this country.
